D’Addario EJ38 strings are designed to deliver shimmering 12-string chime with balanced tension and reliable tuning stability. Made with phosphor bronze wrap over a hex core, they produce clear highs, warm mids, and a defined low end that keeps octave courses articulate and musical.
The 10–47 light gauge reduces overall tension, making them easier on both your hands and your instrument—ideal for vintage or lightly braced 12-strings, extended playing sessions, and players who want sparkle without excessive stiffness.
